Hi all, I would like to create a ''piece'' of application, a poll system, and want to make it as a plugin. I found many information about plugins, most about mixin and extending core, but not so much for making plugin with controllers and views. First, Do I think the wrong way with plugin ? Then I found the following on techno weenie: for your model : models_path = File.join(directory, ''app'', ''models'') $LOAD_PATH << models_path Dependencies.load_paths << models_path for the controllers itÂ’s quite the same: controller_path = File.join(directory, ''app'', ''controllers'') $LOAD_PATH << controller_path Dependencies.load_paths << controller_path config.controller_paths << controller_path And finally to include views, you should integrate in your controller: self.template_root = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), ''..'', ''views'') Is it a good practise ? Is it the good way to share a piece of application? And other questions come to my mind: * How standardize the way of communicate between application and plugin ? * In the same topic, I have 2 parts in the plugin, one for admin and one for front user, How should I do to easily provide a plugin knowing every application have a different way to authorize or authenticate users? Please feel free to share any knowledge on these subjects :) -- Stephane http://www.rubynaut.net -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
